We back! We hope you missed us and we sure did miss you. Today we discuss changes to the team over the past 8 weeks.  The #Raptors have been remade and  @kalillionaire and @canoegirrl break down their observations. Is this still Kyle's team? Who is the heir apparent?  What are Malachi's strengths? Fred? Where is the future? And the Queens analyze the C spot. What are they seeing? Looking to the future, who is unlikely to return next year and an interesting question that provokes a difference of opinion. And reflections on the momentous Derek Chauvin murder verdict. Change is gonna come. And finally predictions for upcoming games. And an unlikely somebody is AUDACIOUS in her predictions. Join us! Celebrating our Toronto Raptors every day of the year! #wethenorth

Matt Stroup and Steve Alexander react to the big moves from the NBA trade deadline on Thursday, including what Aaron Gordon’s arrival in Denver means for Michael Porter Jr., how Nikola Vucevic will adjust to playing alongside Zach LaVine, and who could benefit among Otto Porter Jr., Wendell Carter Jr., Terrence Ross and Chuma Okeke for an Orlando team that has gone into ultra-rebuild mode. Plus, the new outlook for Norm Powell as he moves from Toronto to Portland, and some potentially very exciting news for fast-rising Celtics center Robert Williams.

Matt Stroup is joined by Steve Alexander and Ryan Knaus to look at how Kevin Porter Jr. is starting to work his way into the James Harden role in the Houston Rockets offense, and whether the eventual return of John Wall can put a significant dent in his momentum. We also look at the continued emergence of Jakob Poeltl with LaMarcus Aldridge on his way out of San Antonio, plus some impressive numbers from Moses Brown in Oklahoma City, and the remarkable consistency of Raptors scoring machine Norm Powell.

Hola! New episode up! The  Raptor Queens pull out their magnifying glasses and examine the details of three impressive wins over the Bucks, the Bucks and the 76ers. We breakdown what we saw and review all three games in all of their glorious detail. Also shine a light on the Bucks? Is it dysfunction we see? King of the North and Court Jester of the Week here for you. @bosslady26 dishes on our Tea Time Segment. Chris Boucher, 6MOTY or MIP or both? And what do we think about the All Star Game?  Finally, predictions? One game down since we recorded, another tonight and one Raptor Queen is on track with her predictions? Wonder who? Join us! Canada's first all women podcast covering the #Raptors #wethenorth

We have a special guest on this episode, as Adam Schefter stops by to talk fantasy hoops, including some early-round draft success (Luka Doncic, Nikola Vucevic, Fred VanVleet) as well as some quintessential 2021 agony (Robert Covington). He also discusses some notable competition in his league (Adrian Wojnarowski) and players he has added from waivers, including Robert Williams, Theo Maledon and Facundo Campazzo. Those three are among the players we highlight during our waiver wire conversation, where we also look at Jae'Sean Tate, Lu Dort and Derrick Jones Jr. — all putting up big numbers lately.

New episode incoming! @kalillionaire and @canoegirrl examine the ORL, BKN, ATL and MEM games, broad strokes and details that caught our eyes. One of the Raptor Queens has been critical of Fred. What's she saying now? The Queens serve up some juicy observations about those Nets. Then a closer look at Deandre' Bembry, his tenure in ATL and what he brings. Is he displacing a teammate with similar skills?  Of course #1 - King of the North and #2 - Court Jester of the Week. So good to have several possible candidates for #1. #2? You'll just have to check it out. Tea Time...best selling Raptors jersey in a faraway market, KLOW's home for sale, Nikola Jokic mocks himself and which NBA coach will be the first to be fired. Finally, is Philly for real? We got opinions. Check us out! Canada's first women led podcast covering the Toronto Raptors! #RTZ #wethenort

Matt Stroup and Ryan Knaus highlight some recent notable fantasy trends, including some monster performances from Al Horford, the rise of Fred VanVleet as an elite fantasy option, a surprising surge in dimes from Norm Powell and a slow stretch that may open up an opportunity to trade for Michael Porter Jr. We also look at one potential positive sign from Robert Covington, and highlight the merits of some fantasy hoops specialists, including Nerlens Noel, Robert Williams and TJ McConnell.

Another Raptors podcast for your listening pleasure.  Sarah Kalil @kalillionaire and Alison Hope @canoegirrl examine the Raptors 5 games home-stand--the big picture and the details around the edges. Did you see the same trends/rough spots as the Queens? A look at Fred with an opinionated take. And of course King of the North and Court Jester of the week.  Tea Time features a look at some big men past and present who really shouldn't be pointing any fingers. A look at the seismic trade that changed the roster on 4 teams...where will the dominoes fall? Our predictions for next week's games. Do the optimistic and the pragmatist agree? Join us, Canada's first female led podcast covering the Toronto #Raptors.

Matt Stroup and Steve Alexander consider some of the top waiver wire pickups in fantasy basketball, including a scalding hot Juancho Hernangomez, a still-widely-available Kevin Porter Jr., a slumping-but-intriguing Shabazz Napier and a suddenly emerging Nicolo Melli. Plus, the late-season statistical barrage from OG Anunoby, and Steve shares the epic saga of Pepper the cat.
